Until Israel appreciates that it is in a war for it's survival, all these attacks will continue. The Arabs are using the death of 1,000 cuts to peck away at Israel's resolve. One Kassam and one suicide bombing won't bring Israel to it's knees begging for mercy. But, thousands of rockets and dozens of suicide bombings over years, will. Israel is allowing all of this thanks to it's leaderhips pandering to the US, Big 4, UN and EU, collateral damage and all that.

No country would allow it's sovereignty to be violated, as has Israel. Turkey bombs dozens of Kurdish villages, and sends in it's military, over a few minor attacks, while Israel, faced with recurring Arab violence, settles for hitting a vehicle from the air.

The Arabs are winning the war, and quickly tighening the noose around Israel's neck, from Gaza to Lebanon to the W. Bk. And what does Israel do? It fights itself for a failed Lebanese War, calling for the hide of it's leaderhips, while having no viable alternative..either in leadership or policy.

If I were the son of those 70 year old scientists who were injured in the blast, I would be fuming. What started out as a simple meal in a shopping center, ended in tragedy., while across in the W. Bank, Arabs sip their tea without similar worries.
